Interesting Logs…
By Adrian Sutton
For about the first time ever I actually looked at the MT activity log for this blog. It’s interesting to see the massive amount of spam I’m blocking with MT-Blacklist – between 50 and 100 comments or trackbacks blocked every day. The HTML entity block (which is now modified to block the use of numeric HTML entities for the letters e and o only due to it blocking too many trackbacks before) is by far and away the most effective – hopefully not too many of the things it’s blocking now are actual ham. Please let me know if you think you’ve been blocked inappropriately.
I also turned off commenting on the City of Heros post from way back as I’m sick of stupid comments for 1337 kiddies.
Most interestingly though, someone went off searching for my resume today (or at least a blog entry that mentioned resume). It appears to be a dynamic IP distributed by Covad.net, so I assume it’s one of their DSL customers. It’s got me intrigued – I wonder what they were up to…. It occurs to me that doing a Google search for Resume should turn up a whole bunch of accurate information that would be useful for spammers but I’m not sure it would be worthwhile specifically searching MT installations.
For the record, my resume isn’t actually online.
